I agree. It's live. Also, if it turns out better than the performance done in front of a crowd, I approve its use on the album wholeheartedly. One thing I don't like about "live" concert DVDs is the fact that some times they seem to be edited to highlight the crowd's enthusiasm rather than to show us the performer's best. I don't care about the crowd. I AM the crowd and I don't really care to see other people like me on a dvd. That gets on my nerves.

What about the guy who screams, "I'm your Beast!" to Stevie during BATB. Each time, he thinks he's the first one to have thought of that line and is not only drunk and ungainly, but extremely proud of himself for being so.
